I'm so happy to find a tutorial using virtually an entire book. I cannot bring myself to cut ALL of the signatures out of a wonderful old book. Thank you, LorriMarie!
oh BAG....you have to cut the signatures out...lol! you will have one chunky book if you don't....but you can use those pages in other pieces of art....right? i love creating these books....so glad you are coming along! see you on the table!
But you tear part of the pages out of each signature, not the entire signature!!! At least that's what I thought you did! So you didn't have to make entirely new signatures and stitch them in, right?
So excited! Just finished following this video ..starting my first Altered Book! I love how you teach! So easy to follow ! Thank you for sharing your process! ♥️
thank you jolene for joining us in this village! see you on the table!
What a relaxing way to learn... I love it. I want to mention that I appreciate that you don't insert music in your videos, we just hear your gentle voice, rips, cuttings, strokes, and yet more art. I really enjoy you and the way you produce your videos LM. Merci beaucoup pour la tranquilité x
and a bit of french too sue....i love that! i cannot take any background music while i am 'creating'..i have enough noise in my head sue...and i figure it is fun to 'hear' the art in the videos...so thank you so much for the support around that! see you on the table sue!

LorriMarie Jenkins your name is actually part of the title. "Lorrimarie Jenkins inspired journal " I hope it's ok to use your name like that.
I just love the way you teach. I've learned so much over the last year since I started junk journaling and book altering, but I always learn so much more when I watch your videos. You are a master, for sure!💗 I wifi if known about you when I still lived in California because I would have loved to have spent some time with you. Now we live in Florida but I always get a wistful feeling when you talk about where you live. 💗
well robyn...now we are in costa rica...so...put that on your bucket list my friend....i am no master by any means...but i do love to play robyn...so thank you for taking the time to leave a comment!!! go create, go play, go have fun!!!

This is my new year project going to follow all your tutorials and make my own altered book. Have torn out the pages and it is quite exciting to plan out what I am going to use. I've watched all your videos so far and have many ideas washing around in my head, just need to focus and let it happen. Thanks for your detailed tuition.
wow maris! what a great goal! we do love our altered books! i am honored to be part of your new year!!! i would love to see your book as you play with it....focused? hmmmmm...what is that exactly? lol!
LorriMarie Jenkins yep did not really mean focused when is inspiration ever that? More like inspired of course which you help me to do very nicely thank you. By the way we have the same hair colour lol
ha ha....now that is the truth! inspired chaos at times, right? and you are a red head too...oooh la la! see you on the table! LorriMarie
Okay, I’m totally guilty of watching your altered book videos ALL day!! When you would encourage us to go play, and have fun, I just couldn’t get enough! You’ve convinced me to get a Stabilo pencil from Amazon,but haven’t seen your affiliate link! I know some of the videos you didn’t have quite enough subscribers, but you do now. I also wondered about the black masking tape, because you should definitely get credit for my ordering that! It’s in my cart on Amazon, I’m not sure if it was your link or one of your subscribers. So, I have thought of a question. You didn’t “thin” out your pages, besides gluing and reinforcing some of them together. I’ve watch other altered book artists Nd they have. What is your thinking on this?
Shelley, go to around 5 minutes 27 seconds in this video, where LorriMarie explainss how she removes some of the pages from her books. I hope this helps! Hugs, Fiona.
Beautiful images at the front and back of this old book. ...maybe could have photocopied them for later use. Thanks for your videos, I have been wanting to do this for ages and used to do collage box's years ago...having the time is the main thing as there are so many creative things to do I find I don't know what to do first! Cheers
i actually kept the front of this book intact....the spine was pretty destroyed so i ended up covering the spine and back with some hardy paper/fabric.....photo copying them is a good idea....thank you!

Today I am starting an altered book by going through your series. I have made this a goal, hopefully I can keep to this art path. Your vids really draw me into the project. I want to make everything, which is impossible when reality intrudes. But I keep running back to my studio to hide from it.
well patricia....when you figure out how to hide from reality...i want to know your secret! lol....i am constantly trying!!!! lol....i am so glad you have taken on the challenge! yippppeeee....you are in for a lot of fun! see you on the table patricia...and welcome to 'our village'!
I knew you had to have a beginning video on how to start an altered book. I'll be going through some of my books to see if they would be suitable for altering along with you. I agree that older books have yummier pages. Funny you have a Nancy Drew book. I collect Trixie Beldon books just because I liked them so much as a child. Many ppl only know of Nancy Drew but as a child I liked the Trixie Beldon series much better. So I have a few of those that would be suitable for altering. I can probably always pick up another one. Humm... got me thinking LOL
i am not familiar with trixie beldon books.....i was more of a tom huck girl...my older sister read the nancy books.....i love the older books, the smell, the feel....yummy.....and here is a video on how to maintain a healthier book... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTKmB...so glad you are joining 'us' on the table!

These are wonderful videos! I was wondering whether you could help your already grateful subbies by making playlists of your various series? You have so many wonderful videos that it would make it much easier to binge each series in order. 🤗
i have thought about it and have found it way too overwhelming lisa....sorry....the altered book is in sequence....and there is a 31 day challenge in sequence....and now i am starting a new book series of backgrounds only...sorry i can not be more helpful! hope to see you on the table lisa.....lots of videos to watch!
LorriMarie Jenkins , I understand. I will continue to enjoy all of your videos. 😊
That was very informative and I think I might start a separate book from the one I am working in for the mornings. You did alot of altered books LMJ. Are you going to start having classes in Costa Rica. I bet you would have alot of new villagers. Spanish speakers. Art is a universal language. You could use an interpreter as you grow in your Spanish speaking quest. Maybe you won't alter books but you can still share some of your love of art. I love the back door. Fun. Fun. ❤❤❤ ps

I wanted to record my attempts but can't work out how to work my web cam with my laptop and Windows 10 won't let me have the programme I used to use to record stuff, so I might have to either hold off until I sort out the recording issue, or just get cracking and not record it.

Hello, I'm new to your video's LorriMarie, You have a great manner about you and very descriptive in your teaching method. As I watched you prepare the book and was thinking to myself that I could not cover up those pages with the orange woman figures on them. They might make a great visual background or add interest to the book. What do you think? Thanks
welcome to 'our village' ! we have so much fun together on the table...i love creating the videos, so thank you for your support! and.....i preserved the 'orange women' in the front of that book.....that book is almost done so i will be posting a video on that in the next week or so....go create, go play, go have fun!
Hi LorriMarie....Love love love your videos!!! Quick question....does it matter if the book is glue bound or stitch bound?
such a good question TBA...the sewn in signatures are much better....they are getting harder to find tho....second hand stores and library book sales are the best bet! see you on the table...
Just the demo I've been looking for,thanks! 😊 one question, you say the spare torn out pages will be great for " underpants " ????
oh my goodness bluangel....we use 'underpants' (the under layer of ephemera) in most of our projects...are you unfamiliar with that term? keep watching the videos my friend....it welcome to the 'village' of 'underpants fans'! lol....see you on the table...

Really nice new subscriber from Greece. May I ask what happens if there arent signatures and the pages are glued. Do i remove them the same way?
welcome crafty corner in greece....i LOVE greece!!! we were there a few years ago....so gorgeous! so....no signatures and the book is glued...is it a newer book? i have a student that is using on elike that right now and she is not having any problems,,,yay! just rip 'em out! make sure to leave room for your altered goodies! see you on the table!!!
I love looking at your tutorials.What is the village you talk about?
thank you for asking roberta....i refer to 'our group' here on youtube as 'our village'....we also have a facebook page (invitation only) where 'our village' can show their pieces that they have created with the help of the tutorials...let me know if that interests you.....go create, go play, go have fun!
Love your book. About how many pages were in the total book? Thanks, I'm new at this.
that is a very good question judi.....the book is in the other room...having some private time...lol...it probably started off with about 125 pages....that is just a guess....but about that...it does not end up with that many tho...lol! so are you new to 'our village'? oh my....welcome...this is such a great place to hang out....go create, go play, go have fun!!!!
Why not glue each page together? Is it just as strong this way or is there another reason for just gluing the edges of the pages? Thanks.
oh paula....go ahead and glue ALL the pages together if you want....i have found that it is not needed....the glue around all the edges of the book and the inside of the window make it PLENTY strong enough...and does not take as long....phew!
You remind me of Lesley Ann Warren from “Clue”
i hope that is a good thing mjm! i am not sure who that is...lol....thank you for stopping by...i hope you can stay and play for a while!!!! see you on the table mum!!!
I have an older sewn book in fantastic shape that I started doing art in before I found this video. It's a smallish book of 127 pages and only 4 signatures. Unfortunately the 3rd pages from the middle of the signatures of the first 2 signatures already has artwork, so I don't want to remove them. Is it possible to remove any other pages from those signatures, and if so, how do I choose? Luckily it's not getting very thick because it's mostly ink and pastel with a little washi tape and a bit of napkins. I am really enjoying your altered book series. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
you can remove other pages....just make sure that you are removing both sides of the 'same' page....one on the right of the stitching and the same page on the left of the stitching...i hope that makes sense...can you see my hands moving around explaining this to you? lol...if it is not clear, email me lorrimarie93@gmail.com and we will go over it together...yay....thank you effie for playing along with me...see you on the table...
@@lorrimarie2002 Thanks so much for the answer. I knew it was important to remove the matching pages, but I thought maybe your choice of the third pages had something to do with the structure and stability of the book. I didn't want to start removing pages without asking the expert, in case I hurt my lovely book. My book is from 1964 and is in perfect condition except for a liitle discoloration on the end pages and some very slight wear on the cover. It even has a large beautiful monogram on the cover. I'm excited to learn some techniques from you I can use on this book and others. Thanks again!

I do a ton of stitching and beading, but these books . . . oh, they just keep calling me. :-) Thank you again for the offer. So sweet.

Hi LorriMarie, I just flipped when I found your altered books! You use a brush to apply the mod podge. I want to do that too. But I tend to forget about it and then it's ruined. Do you wash yours immediately or drop it in a jar of water? Or what?

I've seen where you added the focal point in the compartment and cut out the door, but there's nothing after that.....well not what I can find! Is there another demo ? Sorry to be a pain 🤔🤔😊
nope you are right heather....i only took the video so far...i can tell i need to make another video that explains more...at that time, youtube was telling me my videos should remain under 10 minutes....shoot...i am up to an hour now! lol....i promise...i will make another video on that process....and finish it! thank you for the nudge heather! see you on the table....
LorriMarie Jenkins thank you ! 🤗🤗🤗
my pleasure heather!!! see you on the table...
Just revisiting this LMJ , two years have flown by !!! ❤❤❤❤
Found This Video..... ❤❤❤
can you tell when it was published shelley?
if your book does not have stitching do we just tear out random pages or is there a sequence to that too?
step away from any book that is not stitched together tracy...they fall apart...sorry!!! stay with the stitched in signatures my friend! see you on the table tracy!!!
Thank you, I have a discount bookstore next to me so I will hunt them down. :)
@@tracybromage-spencer1882 good girl...you should be able to find some yummy ones!!! see you on the table tracy!
"yummy for underpants" You have a new fan and oh my, I see old books piled up in my future!
yummy for underpants....i agree candace!! i am so glad you have stumbled upon my channel....go create, go play, go have fun candace!!! i am back from australia and hope to have some fun things happening on the table soon! yay!
In one of your videos ( no idea which one, I watched so many). You mentioned a book you had read that changed your life (about woman growth & empowerment) that we all should read. I thought I saved the title but I can't find it. Do you happen to know what which book I am referring to ?? Liz
oh liz....succulent wild woman by sark....i read it probably 20 years ago...it is lighthearted and affirming...i bet you can find it in a used book store....so much fun!!!! see you on the table liz...
LorriMarie Jenkins that’s the one ! Thank you so much for replying !

@@momentsbyliz9053 you go girl.....i am not there yet! lol....go create, go play, go have fun!!!!!
I started my altered book project today!! I am, unfortunately for me, one who jumps in and does things first and then goes back to see how I should have done it, but I did remove some pages and glue some together, I just removed too many to make the deep cut out for the back door, but I can make it work by just putting something flat to look at when you open the door, rather than something 3D. I hope I can, anyway, looking forward to the next step!
or anne....stick some pages back in! glue them together and slap them in...or....make a deeper door next time, right? my instructions are purely suggestions anyway! lol...go create....xoxo
I love your make it work however you like attitude. You are refreshing. Looking forward to joining your group on Facebook, if I could just find it!🤪
doing this now
lol....that made me smile!!! getting a book ready are ya? me too! i am starting a brand new book...well...2 new books because i experiment in one and teach out of the other....and i am sooooo excited to start playing in them! lots of new pages for lots of new ideas....ahhhhh....life is good! go create, go pay, go have fun!
I've got the front and back pages glued. But, I'm still a bit confused on how you choose which pages to tear out. The book has signatures and is an 1982 vintage. Not super old, but not new either.
pages sewn in tee bee? take a peek at this...it may help...
@@lorrimarie2002 Yes, they are sewn in.
@@PBee8108 you will be removing the pages from the center of the signature stitches i hope that helps....i do not randomly choose them....i pick them carefully from the stitched area tee bee.....

I am doing this project on the "To Kill a Mockingbird". The pages are thick. My question is some of the signature are only 4 pages. Do I still take away two pages?
hmmmmmm.....you must have lots of little signatures....are the signatures with 4 pages on each side of the thread? if so...then removing one page per signature should do it....does that help? if not...i would like to see the book and we can walk through it together...see you on 'some' table maria...
The Thread Is Very difficult to see. It is silly, but I am using a magnifying glass to see the signatures; so when i rip them it is ripping jagged. I am trying to be careful with it. I already ripped out 10 pages. The book is not that old. Thank you for your response.
your book may not be sewn in...it may be glued...although the threads are hard to see, they should not be that hard to see....blah....chances are the book is glued...if it is a newer book...i hope this helped...a little..
i would love to get my hands on that book so i may be of better assistance...are you part of the FB village?
No- I do have a FB Account. i Also Have FaceTime on my apple mac.
LorriMarie I got lots of wrinkles and bubbles but you didn't. What did I do wrong?
oh i get bubbles and wrinkles too...i just embrace them shelley! this is such an old comment....sorry...crazy couple of months here...see you on the table shelley!

Hola soy de Chile
hola alejandra in chile!!!! visiting chile is on my bucket list! thank you so much for taking the time to hello! see you on the table....
About to ask something stupid but do you mean you literally sat down on the book to get it to flatten after you modpodged at around 11:38? At first I thought you meant sit on it as in wait for it to stay glued together... told you it was a stupid question! But I'm serious...
that is not a stupid question! i create 'bum' art when i can...i sit on the books to flatten them until they get too chunky for me to sit on...lol! so yep...i am serious too...lol....thank you D for asking...i am quite sure that other people have had that question too!!! lol...see you on the table D.
wheres the video on how to do the door?
let me check!

Not an original Nancy Drew book!!! 😭😭😭😭
i am afraid so....nancy was on her way to the landfill...saved in the nick of time...phew! see you on the table jaime!
Nice and juicy😂😂
tee hee mimi...nice and juicy baby!!!! see you on the table mimi....
I would not do that to antiquarian books. Cringing.
the books i use are on their way to the landfill aaa...my art is not for everyone for sure...thank you for taking the time to leave a comment aaa....
@@lorrimarie2002 I like your art. Maybe you could have saved it from the landfill? How could you paint over those great illustrations in the book? Is there a line between desecration and art? You say in your video the book is in good condition. You are actually encouraging people to find antiquarian books and destroy them! What if it's a first edition Hemingway? Or a rare edition of an author? Hideous.
First edition Nancy Drew books are worth up to 6000.00. You actually are telling people not to check the edition. You are encouraging people to look specifically for antiquarian books to destroy. I took the time to respond because you are trashing history. These books are valuable and collectible It's not about your art. Destroying history is not art. Educate yourself.
@@ArtandAlchemy thank you for your comment...
